Ocean View Posted May 30, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted May 30, 2014 They said that would be around 200-250 emails I just hate to spend 180 if I don't have to lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean View Posted May 30, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Think I can get unlimited for the day also I will get on board and check the packages. :) maybe we will get lucky and it will be on tv but from what I read I don't think so Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea 4Ever Posted May 30, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I may be wrong but you might be able to get an hour unlimited for the day. That would be a good deal because you can watch an hour of the game and only pay for that one day. Once onboard I would go check out your options.

smeck Posted May 30, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nope on the Oasis. Not sure about one day packages I'm sure they're quite expensive. I'm pretty sure as a Diamond you would get a better discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger13 Posted May 30, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I would be very surprised if they were NOT on TV in the bars I have been on many cruises during various playoffs... Football...baseball...basketball...and have always had the games broadcast in the bars/lounges/casino and usually in the cabins as well I have watched MANY Patriots/Celtics/Red Sox games We had often been told the game would NOT be shown and yet there it was right in our own cabin If it is not then I would suggest getting the 24 hour internet One hour won't be enough plus will be very slow and likely constant kicking you on/off wasting many minutes My D+ discount was a flat $29.95 off any package...concierge said there is no more % off but rather just the one flat dollar off We each also got our one hour free with our D+ on top of that I believe Diamond get 30-45 free plus $ off a pckg ...not sure of the amount Plus as others have said...different ships may have different options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beigedog Posted May 30, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks soo much for info!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums I am just off Allure next week and I can tell you, for sure, that there are NO NHL games to be seen there. In fact, Ken Rush was asked about this very thing from a comment card and he addressed it on his Morning Rush show. He said that the TV package that Royal currently has does not show any of the games and that he hated it because he's a big hockey fan.
